The mysterious aspect made it somewhat ofd for me. Like standing with one foot in a real slice of life type of story and the other foot in fantasy.

What I enjoyed is the topics this story touched upon. Everyone who grew up in a struggling surounding will understand how the main character felt. 

Financially, socially, academically  mentally.

I absolutely could not put this book down.

This is the best combination of so many types of genres and stories; it's got supernatural abilities, and romance, and class struggles, and heists, and so much heart. It's such a page turner that I read almost the entire thing today--I just needed to find out what happened.

This is such an amazing YA debut and I can't wait to read Ann Liang's future work. Thank you to Netgalley and Inkyard Press for the chance to read and review this ARC.
